Abstract:

The small town of Farmville in Pitt County, at one time, was supported almost solely on its tobacco industry. As farming became more mechanized, the town began attracting other industries, such as textiles, apparel and metal working. Farmville now has a more balanced economy, and is within close vicinity to cultural, educational, and entertainment opportunities.
